Well, I started such a process a dozen years or so ago. If the excrement is applied to the ventilator tomorrow, It would be tough, but we could probably feed ourselves.

Problem is, I’m convinced you can’t do it individually, and I can’t find people who want to do it together. Everyone seems stuck on the “rugged individualist” model of five acres, a plough, and a horse — and solar panels and a Tesla, of course.

The other model is the urban radical, working to change the system from within. Good luck with that one.
